Me: says something less than flattering about Charlie Kirk and his legacy The replies:

I'm starting to think at nearly 39 I probably won't be Batman

I *really* want a multitrack casette recorder, so if one of you could just get that for me that'd be swell. Thanks.

everyone else in the admin over the last couple days: what are you talking about, there was no attempted government censorship, stop fearmongering trump: I’m gonna sue them for putting kimmel back on the air

CORRECT.

My poor sister's lovely old cat - the 20 year old who was diagnosed with lymphoma a few months ago - had a stroke this morning. Apparently he lost his vision. She says he's back to normal and playing with his toys now but I'm so upset. He's such a wonderful little guy.

On the train. Very loud and very stupid people have just sat next to me. The train is completely empty and yet they've picked there.

Sorry for the lack of updates, everyone. I was raptured and totally lost track of time

Why was a 90 year old woman rampaging through town?

I know I fucking talk about it all the time, but the political discourse is so messed up that all anyone can talk about is that this guy was a defender of "free speech" and not one person - anywhere - will repeat the things he said using that freedom that was seemingly so dear to him.

There is no reason for The Mandalorian & Grogu to be a film other than the fact they think they can sell tickets to people who've already watched The Mandalorian on Disney+. No new people will see it based on the trailer. If you don't already know the situation & characters this has nothing for you.

"played with his special intensity by Christopher Ecclestone" - couldn't even be bothered to google how to spell his name, eh

Only one possible option: www.youtube.com/watch?v=k21n...

He seems to forget that he wrote Father Ted in a time when he "couldn't" write Father Ted and the Catholic church went doolally-tap. His head is full of soup.

Linehan is a weird one - there was a time where everything he wrote was absolutely legitimately hilarious. If his name was attached to a project you could assume it would be good. And then after one bit of criticism he went absolutely insane & his brain is so full of hate there's no room for funny.

doing shit like this just allows these unis to go “guess we don’t need to pay lecturers anymore, we can finally go back to what really matters: property development!”

also super important to note that Oxford — like, frankly, most “high performing” UK unis — is a multi-faceted business with a relatively minor degree-issuing workstream included. most of these places have asset stripped themselves into oblivion and, frankly, deserve little of their reputation

I've just had another man pull over and ask me how to get to the doctor's surgery. I told him and he drove off completely the opposite way. It's been an odd morning

Just had a mad old lady yelling at me from a car because I didn't know which way Compton Verney was. "Every fucking time I come here noone can help me!". Maybe work out how to get where you're going before you set off and stop trying to make random strangers responsible for your own lack of planning

I like this kind of weather because I get to embrace my natural look of an old merchant ship captain

How can the PM announce the UK formally recognises the state of Palestine while in the same breath calling Palestinian action supporters terrorists? The contradiction makes the recognition feel hollow.

I'm not going to congratulate Starmer on doing the absolute bare minimum - still with a huge amount of plausible deniability - regarding Palestine. It's just another example of him trying to appease everyone without actually doing anything.

Myself I feel powerless to stop this fascist rise precisely because it feels like all our institutions are just rolling over to it.

Well, this is about one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen...

I've just blown my neighbour's minds by carrying a 25kg box up 3 flights of stairs for them and it's the manliest I've felt in my entire life

Same energy:

Re-watching Star Trek Enterprise and @realtoddstashwick.bsky.social has just turned up as a Vulcan. Love that guy!

I get so much joy from watching people driving up a long road that I know has a "road closed" sign at the end of it. And seeing them drive back past me the other way a few minutes later, thinking "ooh I know what's happened here".

Been rebuilding my model of the original USS Enterprise in Blender. I like to rebuild old projects from scratch every few years as my techniques improve. It looks basically identical to my old model but the modelling is much cleaner. #StarTrek

No they're not, you giant wet sock of a man

In the late 80s/early 90s every American cartoon had an incredible theme song. There's not a bad one. Gummi Bears, Chip and Dale, Talespin, Duck Tales, Animaniacs, Pinky and the brain, Freakazoid, Transformers... If you played any of those in a club with millennials you'd blow the roof off

It’s disappointing that we now use “illegal immigration” as a legitimate concern. UK law allows an asylum seeker to enter without legal paperwork. And they make up just 3%. We have always allowed a small number and nothing like other countries. But we processed them faster and allowed them to work.

Well these guys certainly think he was on their side.

I need a cheer up. Here's an idea - actors who should NEVER be cast as Doctor Who, even if budget was no issue. Please add your own: Matt Berry, Richard Ayoade, Matthew Baynton, Diane Morgan, Ben Wishaw, Suranne Jones, Keeley Hawes, Hiddleston, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Paterson Joseph....

I'm trying so hard not to panic and go into a deep depression that there are Nazi marches in the capital, people calling for "Punishment camps" for immigrants, calls for LGBTQ+ and homeless people to literally be killed, but I mean we do all see where this is headed, right?

Sorry to keep going on about this but it's really upset me how vile some men can be, how uncaring and hurtful and utterly unashamedly abusive. And the total apathy of people around them who chose to just ignore it so as to not be inconvenienced

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

This is, I believe, the first official word from the Government on what happened yesterday in London. Not only inaction in the face of violence and hate, but a celebration of it. I passed through London twice yesterday with my two kids & what Labour seem to be missing is that people aren't just...

Some proper pieces of shit coming out of the woodwork on Threads to tell me that they're ok with women being abused.

I'm still really shaken and seething about this. I'm really scared for this woman and how brazen the man was with his abuse.

I just had to phone the police - non emergency line. Just had to intervene with a guy absolutely screaming at his wife in Waitrose and then in the car park, throwing and smashing all her shopping up, saying 'if you leave you're just gonna leave your mom?! How could you do that to her!" Etc

The leaves have suddenly gone all autumny and they're falling. Always makes me a bit sad.

@jessiegender.bsky.social I always feel good when I'm on the same page as you

Why is everyone suddenly pretending that Charlie Kirk wasn't a massive cunt?

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

An Asian Sikh woman has been raped in broad daylight by racists who said she doesn’t belong here. Racist attacks on a daily basis. When will our leaders say something? We need leadership and we need it now. And when will those who spew hate be punished not rewarded? Britain is breaking apart.
